Quite honestly I don't think any other US President has suffered so much "micky taking"  during their time in office , he is without doubt a successful businessman but as a President perhaps not.

Sorry Rangie, but in my book he is not.  Read this:

https://www.businessinsider.com/the-story-of-trumps-business-career-his-taxes-and-his-debt-2020-9?r=US&IR=T

and this to add some balance : 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/29/the-myth-and-the-reality-of-donald-trumps-business-empire/
and
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/donald-trumps-13-biggest-business-failures-59556/

both from 2016 before becoming President.

In my business career I would have quickly been dismissed as a failure and lost my job if my record was anything like that.  It is one reason why he has paid so little tax; his "business" interests run at a loss and then go bankrupt! ::) ::) ;)

None of that is 'balanced'  ;D

The media has generally no interest in publishing anything that reflects positively on Trump, especially in the last five years. And what they do report gets presented in such a way so as to spin your perspective between the headline and the text.

For example: 'Trump only paid $750 in taxes'

Could equally have read: 'Trumps tax return shows he donated his Presidential salary'

Apparently Trump inherited $413,000,000 from his father, (2018 figures) and HIS WHOLE FAMILY is now worth $200,000,000 (2020 figures)

It appears his personal net wealth cannot be estimated due to the many interlinks to internal family affairs and the large amount od debt he holds.

I CBA to post links as they will instantly be decried as "false", "unbalanced" or "biased" - Google will find no end of them for you........ and they can't all be wrong ... unless you are either paranoid or it is a conspiracy .......

Not what I'd describe as "succesful" ...  losing over $200,000,000 ... most "successful" businesses "make" money ....

There have been reports (no doubt rubbished by you know who) that both New York State and Florida have criminal tax evasion charges waiting for ole Trumpy once he's no longer President. Apparantly States can't bring charges against a sitting president for state laws. However, once he's booted out they can, and apparently the new president can't pardon people for state law convictions - only federal crimes can be pardoned.

So Trump could yet get to see big Bubba in the showers. Or burn through millions in legal fees defending the charges.

Really?!!

US election security officials reject Trump's fraud claims

US federal election officials have said the 2020 White House vote was the "most secure in American history", rejecting President Donald Trump's fraud claims.

"There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised," a committee announced.

They spoke out after Mr Trump claimed without proof that 2.7 million votes for him had been "deleted".

To add to Biden's victory, Arizona this morning has been declared to him giving Biden another 11 electoral votes.

So, is that going to make you concede DG? ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;)

Think that you are spot on Lizzie, in all fairness he never stood a chance with his ridiculous claims just made himself look like a fool.

Interesting website ..... well worth a read ...

https://www.cisa.gov/rumorcontrol

This is a USA Government website, a part of the Dept. of Homeland Security, staffed by folks appointed by the President, not a press, twitter or facebook link to be seen.

His answer to their integrity and honesty ?? Demand the resignation of the Deputy, and rumour has it, the Director as well ... how does the saying go .."Never let the truth .......  ??? 

Edited for smelling pistakes ....
